My efforts from last week ran into a dead end because I can't reproduce that massive texture leak any more.
I can however still reproduce the original "smaller" leak (0.5-1.0MB per overview) this bug was about in the first place. And good news: Upstream's experimental fix seems to work: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/merge_requests/114 ** Also affects: gjs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gjs
